Cheat (Card Game)

Published on March 10, 2018

Easy game for any number of players of 3 or more. If a large number is playing you may want to combine two packs of cards.

Deal out all the cards in the pack, equally as possible to all players (it doesn’t matter too much if one player has one less card than another.). Object of the game is to get rid of all your cards, but in order to do so you have to discard your cards face down into a central pile, in multiples of the same rank. eg 2 kings, 4 tens, 3 jacks etc… But you choose whether or not to cheat and by telling truth or not when you do so. Eg you could say you are putting down 3 Aces, but in reality be putting down any combination of cards such as a 7, 8 and jack.) All the other players however have the opportunity to call “Cheat” if they feel rightly or wrongly that you are putting down what you say you are. If you are cheating you have to not only pick up the cards you have discarded, but the rest of the discarded pile as well!…. if you were not cheating, you turn over the cards you just put down to prove you were not and the person who accused you of cheating has to pick up all the cards in the discard pile.
